3.01 Ct. Bluish Purple Cabochon Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Imagine a single moment captured in deep, bluish purple light, a gentle heart beating in stone, a jewel that quietly calls for celebration and quiet devotion. This semi translucent oval sapphire weighs 3.01 carat, and measures 9.13 x 7.32 x 4.57 mm, its cabochon curve polished to an excellent mirror finish that deepens the sense of intimacy each time it catches the light. Sourced from Ceylon Sri Lanka, heat treated to reveal its intense color, and graded very slightly included at eye level, this gem holds an emotional clarity that feels both ancient and immediate. When you hold it, the surface seems to breathe, a soft violet hue that shifts with movement, promising memories that grow richer with every glance, moments of joy that become heirlooms, a loving gift that speaks without words.

Picture this cabochon at the heart of a custom design, cradled by a halo of whispering white opals, their milky play of color lifting the sapphire into a dreamlike glow. White Opal brings a soft, ethereal contrast, iridescent flashes that dance against the sapphires saturated bluish purple, creating a duet of calm and wonder. Surround the center with a delicate ring of brilliant white diamonds to add fire and enduring sparkle, or frame it with tiny pink sapphires to introduce a tender warmth that suggests romance and compassion. For a modern yet timeless piece, pair the cabochon with petite opal accents on the shoulders of a ring or intersperse opals and diamonds along a pendant bail, allowing light to flow between each stone. Envision a bespoke piece from The Natural Sapphire Company, where fine metals like warm rose gold or polished platinum enhance different emotional tones, rose gold for intimate, heartfelt gifts, and platinum for a refined, luminous statement. This sapphire invites personalization, it longs to be set in a way that reflects a story, a promise, a celebration, and we are here to help bring that story to life with careful design choices that honor the gem, and the person who will wear it.
